Getting to Kruger From Johannesburg — All Routes Compared

By Mike Lawrie

Three options get you from Johannesburg to Kruger: a one-hour domestic flight to Eastgate (HDS) or Skukuza (SZK), a 5-6 hour drive on the N4 toll road, or a private road transfer. Most international guests fly. Most South African domestic guests drive. The right choice depends on trip length and whether you want a self-drive Kruger leg.
